olololo

... is 1,000,000 €.

All that is needed is for some nice rich chap to donate one million dollars as prize money for the winner of DHS 20XX Quakelive duel tournament:

- Announcement 12 months in advance would make even the most retired of quakers reconsider, with the opportunity of a year's practice beforehand.

- 256 duellers or even more, pushing logistics to the limits.

- Even CNN would headline this shit.

- ??????

- Quake is saved

I'd rather post his here than on QL forums...

In practice mode TDM matches have 5 second weapon respawns and powerups that drop after killing the carrier á la CTF, and there are no options in the match creation to change this.

How can I set 30 second weapon respawn and proper powerup settings? Also, is there a way to override the even teams requirement before starting a match?

tl;dr : PROPAH TDM SETTINZ IN PRAKTIS MODE 4 MAXIMUM LULZ

Shouldn't the person with the title Quake Live Community Manager actually be voted by the community itself?

Syncerror is a developer, correct me if I am mistaken. Yes, he posts updates on ESR and the like but... it's kind of like listening to a spokesman. He says what he is told to say.

The actual QL community needs to "elect" a representative, and ID Software must agree to consider him/her the Community Manager, someone who's purpose is to constantly and consistently gather the opinions and needs of the community, sort them by priority, and communicate them to the QL dev team and marketing team.

With someone community elected in this position, we can actually get real feedback and know for sure if our suggestions are being considered, implemented as we speak, or ignored.

It's time ID Software let this 12 year old (read: veteran-as-fuck) community take the rudder of this ship. They might not be willing to hand it over to a whole new crew, but at least let the passengers have someone they choose, on the bridge.

There appear to be no icebergs in site... but we are taking on water. I'll stop now before the ship analogies get out of hand.

Firstly, is this a good idea? Secondly... who is perfect for the task?
